Learn MoreReach out by phone or through our contact form. We respond within 1 business day. You tell us roughly what you have in mind - size, material, any existing structure - and we schedule a free on-site visit at a time that works for you. No obligation, no pressure.
We come to your property, measure the space, look at the ground conditions, and talk through your goals. Within a few days you receive a written, itemized estimate - materials, labor, permit fees - so you can compare it fairly and know exactly what you are agreeing to before signing anything.
Once you approve the design, we pull the required permit, schedule the county inspection, and get to work. Most residential decks are complete in three to seven working days. We handle the final inspection and walkthrough, leave the site clean, and hand you the permit sign-off you will want when you sell your home.
We hold a Florida state-issued contractor license, verifiable through the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. Every project is covered by full general liability insurance - so if something unexpected happens, you are protected.
We are a locally owned business serving Gainesville and the surrounding communities. We know Alachua County's permit process, soil conditions, and HOA requirements - and we have been doing this since 2020.

"They finished our composite deck in five days, which was exactly what they told us upfront. The framing inspection happened without a hitch, and the whole permit process was handled for us. No surprises on the final bill."
Marcus T., Alachua - Composite deck installation
"We had a wood privacy fence installed along the back of our property. The crew was professional, cleaned up every day, and the posts are rock solid. Already had three neighbors ask who did the work."
Sandra R., Gainesville - Wood and privacy fence installation
"Our old deck had soft spots near the ledger board and we were worried about safety. They replaced the damaged framing and refinished the surface. It feels completely solid now and looks like a different deck."
Kevin W., Hawthorne - Deck repair and replacement

We aim to schedule on-site estimates within the same week you reach out - no long wait times for a contractor who actually shows up.
Almost certainly yes. Alachua County requires a permit for any deck attached to your home or raised more than 30 inches. A legitimate contractor pulls the permit - you should never have to ask.
Composite and Trex products resist moisture and mold without annual refinishing - a real advantage in Gainesville's wet climate. Pressure-treated wood costs less upfront but needs sealing every few years to hold up here.
Yes - and it is one of the most common design requests in Gainesville. The key is leaving adequate space around the trunk for growth. The City of Gainesville tree protection guidelines explain what to avoid during footing installation near protected trees.
In many Gainesville neighborhoods - especially Haile Plantation, Tioga, and others on the southwest side - yes. HOA approval comes before the county permit. A contractor who knows Gainesville will ask about this upfront.
Late fall through early spring - October through March - avoids the daily afternoon thunderstorms that delay work from June through September. Book a contractor in the fall if you want a deck ready for spring entertaining.
Florida requires a state-issued license for contractors building structures attached to your home. Verify any contractor's license on the Florida DBPR website. A legitimate contractor also pulls permits, provides a written contract, and can share recent local references.

Learn more about usIf the surface boards are worn but the framing is still solid, a re-deck - new boards over an existing frame - can save money. If the posts, ledger board, or footings are failing, a full replacement is safer and more cost-effective long-term. A contractor can assess which situation applies during a free site visit.
The North American Deck and Railing Association (NADRA) sets industry standards for deck construction, publishes consumer guides, and provides resources for finding qualified contractors. Their guidelines are the baseline many local building codes reference when setting requirements for railing height, baluster spacing, and footing depth.
Every two to three years, depending on sun exposure and how much rain the deck takes directly. Gainesville's wet season accelerates the moisture cycle that breaks down sealers. Letting it go too long allows moisture and mildew to work deeper into the wood - leading to more expensive repairs down the road.

Gainesville is home to the University of Florida, with more than 133,000 residents and a steady mix of established neighborhoods and newer subdivisions. The city ranges from the historic wood-frame homes of the Duckpond neighborhood - some dating back over a century - to the larger-lot subdivisions like Haile Plantation on the southwest side. That range of housing stock means homeowners here have very different needs - from restoring older decks on concrete block homes to designing new outdoor spaces for modern builds.
The natural environment shapes outdoor living in Gainesville. The city sits close to Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park, a 21,000-acre preserve just south of town that draws residents and visitors year-round. The mature oak canopy that defines many of Gainesville's older neighborhoods creates one of the most common design requests we receive - decks that work around large trees rather than removing them. North Central Florida's karst geology and sandy soils also affect how we size and set footings, which is knowledge that only comes from building here over many years.
Advanced Gainesville Deck & Fence has worked on homes across Gainesville since 2020 - from the streets near Ben Hill Griffin Stadium to the quiet cul-de-sacs in Newberry and Alachua. Whether your home was built in 1965 or 2005, we understand what the climate here demands from outdoor structures - and we build accordingly.
